That's why General Patton's detractors said.

Am I supposed to be afraid of your comment given the lack of discipline in many children today?

Since I was not there, I cannot comment on the behavior of the mother.

However, I suspect that there is a lot more to the story than what this article is suggesting.

See the above post about "friend" parents these days as opposed to real parents.

If someone like you touched my kid, I would cave your face in.

Yeah, I am sure the ‘friend’ parent phenom was really a factor WITH A TWO YEAR OLD!!!!..... NOT.

Get a grip. A bratty ten year old crying for a toy has a weak willed ‘friend’ parent. A two year old crying needs a nap, but mom needed to buy groceries, and people need to get a grip.

To me a child crying is a joyous sound. Life renewed. Love realized. And it ain’t mine!
